Wow! First time visit & it won't be the last! The food is…read morecrazy good. Shared a grilled cheese with the boyfriend and it was one of the best I've ever had! No joke. The butter they use is clarified with herbs and just takes the flavor to a whole other level. I mean it's insane to me how good that sandwich was. They've got a small interior seating area and that part kinda reminds me of France. Small outdoor patio as well. Service was beyond crazy good too. The two guys working were the nicest people we've met in a long time. Genuinely nice. We had great and fun convo with them. I mean heck, two of my pics speak volumes to that. A+.

Every bite and the drive is worth it! I went with the porchetta sandwich this time. The bits of…read moreChicharron are that special piece. Originally I got the grilled cheese with porchetta but the simplicity of the OG is my fav. I tried the kale Cesar as we shared the sandwich and it was a good fresh addition. My favorite item from here will always be the tomato soup. That fresh pesto swirled inside is chefs kiss. I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy to ambiance around. Service is always phenomenal and makes you feel like you're going over to a families house. Thank you for all the greatness Meat and Board brings to Austin!

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, but their hours that they are open made that…read morehard to do. I thought it was odd that they would be closed on weekends when people have the time to shop along with being closed before people get off work. But those hours make sense when you realize they produce for distribution, not dine in. There's almost 30 reviews so far, but I was surprised that not a single one of them included any photos. If you're coming to this part of town, parking is always a concern in this area. The good news is that there are about eight places to park at here, otherwise you'll have to park in the street, but at least there's no kiosks. As soon as you pull in, the air is filled with that familiar smoky aroma. However, once you step inside, you suddenly realize that this is not a place you can dine in. Basically the first 10 feet of hallway is where the customer service takes place. There is a cold case with all of their sausages on display, including a little beef jerky, and that's it. I have to admit I wish they had brisket and ribs too. They do make a tamale-based sausage for Christmas as a seasonal item. The prices are very reasonable and there is no tip screen. This is not just a grab and go operation, their sausages can be found in virtually every H-E-B. So the good news is that you can find them here or at your favorite H-E-B. Check out the nine photos included.

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

The account is in my husbands name that's why you can't find me. Thank you for the offer to make it right but I'm going to pass. *** also it took over 7 weeks to get back. We've had a few deer processed there over the years and I can say this last one we dropped off in January for youth season was disgusting. The flavor was off, the jerky was gross, the backstrap tasted rank. I won't eat it or give to family and friends. Last time we bring our deer there.

I really wanted to like Black Gold more than I did. It's a beautiful, modern space with super…read morefriendly and accommodating staff, plus plenty of parking which are all great first impressions. But unfortunately the BBQ, which should be the star of the show, just didn't quite hit the mark for me. I came in hoping to try one of their lunch specials, only to find out they had recently discontinued them. I almost left but the staff kindly honored the deal anyway, which definitely turned things around in the moment. I ordered the chopped beef sandwich with garlic parmesan fries. While the food wasn't bad, it lacked the depth of flavor I expect from Central Texas BBQ. Even with sauce it didn't deliver that rich smokiness or bold seasoning I'm used to. That said, maybe I just chose the wrong dish. Their menu does have some intriguing options like crispy duck, ribs, an elk burger, and a full bar. I might give them another try during happy hour or if I'm nearby, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for the BBQ.

It's rare to not have to queue up for BBQ in Austin. This is one of those spots that takes…read morereservations and you can walk right in. BBQ was very good. Ribs were probably my favorite. I'm partial to baby back over spare ribs. Brisket was decent. Fatty slices were much better than the lean. Sausages were a star. Both were moist and great amount of fat. Pickles and red onion were a nice touch. Overall, a different spot than the norm and worth a visit. Prices are by the half pound and generous.

I was looking for a place that made meals that could be frozen for a postpartum gift. My friend is…read morethe kind of person who truly has *everything* so thinking about what to gift her was hard. This was second baby so she let us know they didn't "need" anything. I had another friend recommend Lee's as she goes here as a go to baby shower gift. I popped in on a Saturday around 2:00 and was greeted by two young men. The shop is small but has an extensive selection of meats, meals, sandwiches, etc. They had about 5 casserole options and a variety of sizes. I chose the chicken tetrazzini, king Ranch chicken, and the chicken pot pie. The meals came with heating instructions. I will definitely be back. The gift was a hit at the baby shower and so many people asked me where I went to buy this.

First let me start off by saying they have great food, I've tried once and bragged to my wife that…read moreit was very good. I follow on instagram and they sent a message saying they're open with an address! So I left and drove 40 minutes to get there. I messaged them saying I'm ready to order, they said order online so I did, I waited 40 minutes, food never came out! I ask the guy in front, he said they are not here. What a waste of time of my day! They left me on Read after that, I was so furious and very mad, I went ahead and ordered from somewhere else. Needless to say, DO NOT ADVERTISE SAYING YOU ARE OPEN AND YOU ARE NOT OPENED! ALSO STILL WAITING ON MY REFUND! I wouldn't give 1 star! I will never support you guys again! Very wrong what you are doing here! Not to mention my wife was on her lunch break & didn't even get to eat.

Mouth still salivating from the food. When I say amazing, that's an understatement…read more Let me backtrack. Parking is limited and they sent a message stating so and to arrive early. Got a spot right up front which happens to be the entrance to the butcher/shop area. Nice sign directed me to the rear of the restaurant for the host and was sat immediately for my 6:15 reservation as I arrived early around 6pm. Jordan was the person taking care of me and they did a wonderful job. Great recommendations. Started with the grilled shrimp and they were tasty and I can't put my finger on what made it taste different. Perhaps the lime zest? Devoured those quickly. Next up was the antelope leg and y'all ain't never had it before but would order it again. Cooked amazing, easy to eat and those fries?!? Bye, just bye. I could do a whole plate of those and not bat an eye. Dessert was the basque cake and as anticipated fell inline with the rest of the meal. As you can see no plate (even the shrimp) was returned with something on it. Sooooo good. If you're looking for a new place to try, do it.

I can really appreciate that dai due is seed oil free and source pretty much everything they use & serve from local Texas farms and vendors. It makes me feel better about what I'm putting in my body. And for the quality of those products the pricing was very fair. You can taste the different in quality and I will be recommending this place to anyone who will listen. Dai due feels rustic, relaxing and inviting. The staff is friendly and the service is great. My highlight was the beef tartar and the flautas but every dish we ordered was delicious!
